Parallels / Parallel Bar Set

myminifactory

Parallels are used extensively in machine shop settings to facilitate precise measurement or secure work pieces during operations in drill presses or milling machines. Typically crafted from high-grade steel, these tools are machined to meet stringent tolerance standards (reference Amazon version for further details: http://amzn.to/28PGxhU).\r\nI've discovered that my 3D printer is capable of achieving tolerances suitable enough to enable the creation of affordable and disposable parallels for home use.\r\nThe bars used in these parallels are a robust 3/16 inches thick, measuring 4-1/2 inches in length, and feature widths ranging from 3/8 to 1 inch in increments of 1/8 inch.
